Chapter 224
"Miss Meier, do you know anyone from the dealer?" Seeing Li Meier staring at his carriage without blinking, Xiao Qing couldn't help asking.

"Yes, the wife of the Zhuang family is still my aunt." Li Meier didn't intend to hide it, and replied directly. She thought Li Xin should know about this, but the relationship between his grandmother and aunt was not good in the past. Xin will not deliberately mention it.

"Ah!?" Xiaochun obviously didn't expect Li Meier to have such a close relationship with the dealer, and she was surprised.

Li Meier can understand her surprise very well. After all, uncles are very close at the moment. Uncles are relatives, relatives from generation to generation. There are quite a few people who are married to each other. People like her don’t even know where their aunts live. , it is really rare to see.

"Then Miss Meier, you..." Do you want to go over and say hello?Xiaochun didn't say the second part of the sentence, afraid of some taboo, after all, Miss Meier didn't even know her aunt's family, so the relationship between the two families must not be very good.

"No need, let's go back." Seeing that the dealer's carriage had disappeared, Li Meier turned and said to Xiaochun.

"Oh...Okay!" Xiaochun quickly nodded in response, and followed Li Meier back to her home.

Li Mei'er waited for a while with nothing to do in the yard, and Jiang and the others came back.

When Mrs. Jiang entered the room, she still had a look of joy on her face, apparently in a good mood.

Seeing her expression, Li Meier guessed that their books probably sold well yesterday, so she hurried up to meet her and asked, "Father and mother, you've come back, how many books did we sell yesterday?"

"Twenty copies! It has been doubled several times!" Jiang said with a happy face, took the tea handed over by Xiaochun, and said in one gulp.

Li Meier was also very happy when she heard this number. She looked at Jiang Shanqing and said with great admiration, "Brother Shanqing is the best. He came up with a good idea yesterday, and today he sold so many books!"

"The main thing is the book." Jiang Shanqing was also very happy, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. He still has many modern marketing strategies in his mind, but in the final analysis, the content of the book must be good, otherwise no matter how hard he pushes it, it will be useless.

"Shan Qing, don't be modest. If it wasn't for your idea, this book wouldn't be sold. You don't know, Mei Meier. When we arrived at the bookstore today, it was so crowded that there was no room for anyone. I’m here to read books for free, not only our Journey to the West, but also other novels have sold a lot, but you, Xin Sanbo, are so happy that you can’t close your mouth from smiling.” Li Yan also said with a smile .

Li Meier regretted not being able to see such a lively scene, and couldn't help complaining to Jiang: "Mother, why don't you call me for a while, maybe I will wake up, so I can talk to you in the morning." Let's go together."

"It's no wonder you go, don't you know what kind of virtue you sleep by yourself, and you haven't responded for a long time, it seems that I should really take care of you and twitch that lazy muscle in your body!" Li Meier didn't say it's okay , I get angry when I talk about Mrs. Jiang, I don't know why this girl likes to sleep in so much.No matter how many times I've said it, I can't get rid of this bad habit.

Li Meier immediately begged for mercy, "Mom, I will definitely not sleep in next time, I swear!"

"It's useless to swear. If you sleep late again in the future, you will be punished and not allowed to eat snacks for three days." Knowing her daughter's virtue, Jiang simply gave her a hard dose.

Li Meier was a little scared now, and promised weakly, "I will definitely get up early to exercise on time in the future, and let Brother Shanqing supervise me." After speaking, she winked at Jiang Shanqing.

Jiang Shanqing, who was called suddenly, glanced at Li Meier, nodded with a playful smile, "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely 'supervise' my sister, and I will never let her be as lazy as she is now."

Listening to Jiang Shanqing's words, Li Mei'er suddenly felt hairy all over, and had a very bad premonition...

The family gossiped for a while, and Xiaochun brought over lunch.

The food in Li Xin's family is very good, there are a lot of chicken and fish knuckles, Li Mei'er eats late for breakfast, so she doesn't eat much for lunch, and she doesn't have much appetite because of the dealer's business in her heart.

Jiang discovered her daughter's strangeness, and asked her only after lunch, "What's wrong with you? I think you seem to have something on your mind."

"Mother, you can see..." Li Meier rubbed her nose and smiled, "I have something to tell you."

Jiang looked at Li Meier, waiting for her to continue.

"I got up today and didn't see you guys. I thought I was fine anyway, so I went for a walk around. Mother, guess who I saw?" Li Meier asked with a somewhat exaggerated tone.

"Who is it?" Jiang Shi was amused by her appearance, and asked cooperatively.

"Auntie!" Li Meier suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "She also brought a little boy about two years old into the side door of a house. I asked Sister Xiaochun, and she told me that the owner of the house Surname Zhuang."

The smile on Jiang's face disappeared in an instant, and she frowned slightly, and asked, "Have you asked clearly, is the owner of that house really surnamed Zhuang?"

"It's not wrong. Sister Xiaochun also said that the master of the Zhuang family has some business contacts with Sanbo Xin. They will come to give gifts during the Chinese New Year. I guess Sanbo Xin should also know the relationship between the Zhuang family and our family. It's just that Seeing that the relationship between our two families is not good, I didn’t mention this.”

Jiang frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying: "I see."

Li Mei'er was a little anxious when she saw Jiang's words so lightly, and asked: "Mother, should we go and visit?"

"Although we are relatives with the Zhuang family, we haven't seen each other for many years. If we suddenly come to visit without warning, people will think we are poor relatives who come to fight the autumn wind. Anyway, they don't know that we have come to the state capital. Today Just act as if you didn’t see your cousin, and we don’t know that your aunt’s family lives here.” Mrs. Jiang felt that it’s better to have one more thing than one less thing. At the beginning, Yu Susu gave birth to a child in Zhangshui Town secretly, and it’s too late now. I don't want to have too much interaction with them.

"By the way, mother, my cousin seems to be married. I think she wears a woman's bun." Li Meier thought of another detail and said.

"It seems that she has fulfilled her wish." Jiang nodded and said, combing the woman's hair in a bun, and bringing her son by her side, that Yu Susu should have married into the Lu family, and now she can be regarded as flying on a branch. It's a phoenix, the Zhuang family has an in-law relationship with a big family like the Lu family, and the business will only grow bigger and bigger in the future. It's better not to be too close to a small family like hers, otherwise people will think they are Want to cling to it.
